Women’s Day 2021: Reflecting on the Past Year Through Stories

<div>A focal point in the women’s right movement is International Women’s Day, a day which has served both as a day of protest in some of parts of the world and a celebration in others.<br> <br> </div> <div>This past year we have seen the crucial leadership roles that women have played in the ongoing farmers agitation at the borders of the capital, which recently crossed its 100-day mark. We also witnessed the landmark Priya Ramani verdict, which scored a victory for the #MeToo movement in India and the workplace rights for women.<br> <br> </div> <div>As part of <strong>The Quint</strong>’s Women’s Day 2021 coverage, in a special series called “Her Pandemic Diary”, we asked women to take a pause and reflect on their journey this past year, which both anecdotal accounts and research shows women are among those 'worst affected' by the 'new normal.'<br> <br> So for today’s special episode, instead of trying to understand what this day means for women, we are going to try and take a look at where women stand in India by giving a platform to them to speak about their daily lives, their struggles and also highlight the landmark judgments passed in the last year.<br> <br> <br> </div> <h1><a href="https://www.thequint.com/videos/womens-day-dr-shehla-jamal-on-women-in-pandemic">Under One Roof But Isolated From Kids – A Doctor’s Pandemic Diary</a></h1> <div><br> </div> <h1><a href="https://www.thequint.com/voices/opinion/ghazala-wahab-metoo-womens-day-mj-akbar-sexual-assault-violence-against-women">‘My Mother was Upset, Father Embarrassed’, Ghazala Wahab Recalls</a></h1> <div><br> </div> <div> <strong>Host and Producer: </strong>Himmat Shaligram</div> <div> <strong>Editor:</strong> Shelly Walia</div> <div><br> </div> <div> <strong>Music:</strong> Big Bang Fuzz</div> <div><br> </div> <div><strong>Listen to The Big Story podcast on:</strong></div> <div><br> </div> <div>Apple: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fapple.co%2F2AYdLIl&amp;redir_token=G9sQMbbppKv-LEFD29gDy
